At G7 meeting in Italy EUʼs top diplomat calls for Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire deal acceptance. Current US-French proposal addresses security issues while Lebanonʼs stability hangs in balance
In Fiuggi Italy at a high-level G7 gathering Josep Borrell the EUʼs chief diplomat made strong statements about the Israel-Hezbollah situation. The US-French peace-deal proposal which addresses all security-related concerns got stuck because of Israeli governments resistance
Speaking at the side-lines of todays meeting Borrell pointed out that there arent any valid reasons for Israel to reject the agreement. The out-going EU foreign policy chief emphasized that some hard-line members of Israeli government block the deal: this creates unnecessary obstacles for regional stability
